Lamorinda Education Forum / Moraga iKind Project event.

The Moraga iKind Project Presents: He Named Me Malala:

This extraordinary film presents the young Pakistani female activist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai, who has spoken out for the rights of girls, especially the right to education, since she was a young child. The film also recounts how she miraculously survived and has become even more eloquent in her quest after being hunted down by a Taliban as part of the organization's violent opposition to girls' education. The title refers to the Afghani folk hero Malalai of Maiwand, after whom her father named her. A powerful film for everyone! Event details: February 21 at 7:00 PM at JM’s Auditorium, followed by a student panel.
